Abstract

This study presents the performance analysis results of biotechnical system for recording nonlocalized biomechanical signals. The circuits for simulating the impact of the pressing force (applied to the body surface) on the input of signal transducer were considered both in the absence and in the presence of a supporting surface of transducer. The sensor design was shown to influence the reduction level of the impact of the pressing force applied to the body resulting in the specific effect on the transducer input. In addition, the effect of the sensitivity loss of the recording channel of nonlocal biomechanical signals on the reduction level was also evaluated.
